    I feel the  love and i am forever  grateful .thanks all of you
    @lastexitlondon

    I echo the others Rob.  I’m sorry if I’ve put additional pressure on you that you don’t need.  Please know it comes from a place of love and caring and knowledge.

    Most of us have been near to where you are, which is feeling desperate and overwhelmed.  That were standing here holding out hands and hope is because someone did the same for us in the past.  Always keep fighting Rob.  You are worth it.

    I had a terrible  argument yesterday with my partner and now  tge mother of my other  3 kids has told me to leave them alone.  I didn't  do anything. Its all unravelling like nancy said before. But im sober and im trying . But i thought  yesterday may have been my last. I was clear  and sober. I cant  do much more than my best each day until the end

    You're doing what you can to help yourself, so that's great. You have a support system, and if communication is down on the home front, we've got you covered here. Someone will be around sooner or later. :)

    ^^^That's really comforting, isn't it? Someone will be around sooner or later. 

    I'll just sit over here and warm the bench.Someone else will be by shortly. ;)

    If we may ask, and I understand if you prefer not to share, but how did your appointment go?

    I tried to say everything  but the lady was structured and was putting  apps on my phone that i don't want. But she made an appointment  for me to see another person. 
    Not what i really wanted out  of it but in this country thats how it goes. I don't  think  there  is an answer.

    An app called staying alive and she is looking at funding for some brain app. 
    I wanted some cbt or at least some therapy to talk. But  that may come . I will go next week and see what comes of it. Im tired of it all. My brain will never  be what i need it to be ive lost so much it does not recover or get better. FACT. I cant do simple things i used to do blindfolded  so to speak. Definatly  some brain problem to me. And its my brain so i know.  They say cognitive  function can be impared by constant anxiety but this is more  and 24/7 blankness and confusion.  
    Im scared just typing this so im gonna stop

    Even though what you typed scared you, I think you should write it down before your next appointment and read it to your next doctor. They need to know what you want out of this. I hope your next doctor is a little less structured and is more open to your input.

    @lastexitlondon , along the lines of what @OffSheGoes35 said, it might not be a bad idea to print out your posts from this thread (or at least a selection of them)—if you can’t do it, ask for help—and take them to your next appointment.

    Hey S, thank you you beautiful human.
    I'm feeling okay today. I hope you are well.
    Been feeling sad and empty the past week or so. My GP said it usually takes 2 weeks for drugs to work.
    I have been increased from a non-therapeutic dose designed to ease me into the new drug to the lowest possible therapeutic dose.
    Usually in the mornings I have felt sad and down and in the late afternoons/evenings I've felt better. This morning I feel good. I hope it lasts.

    I went to my best friend's band's gig on Friday night and felt so detached and sad. I was hanging out backstage with my best friend, his band, and family and fiance. I just felt like shit and hopeless and it had me so worried about myself as usually hanging out with everyone lifts me.

    i've been told it can take up to 6 weeks for the drugs to work. 2 weeks was the minimum.

    That is correct. 2-6 weeks is the norm.

    Thanks for checking in M.  I’m sorry that you still have down moments, but from reading what and how you are writing over the past couple of weeks, I can detect an obvious improvement.  I hope you can recognise that as well. Enjoy the good moments as you find them, hopefully the good moments will soon outnumber the low moments.  Cheers😊
